Transcript

COLONEL JACOB "HAWK" MANLEY: Tell us where the jamming's coming from.

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: Who are you working for?

COLONEL JACOB "HAWK" MANLEY: What kind of interference is it?

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: How many ships are there?

COLONEL JACOB "HAWK" MANLEY: Come on! Talk!

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: How many ships are there? Tell me now!

VETERAN: Listen! I don't have to tell you a damn thing!

COLONEL JACOB "HAWK" MANLEY: I want to know now!

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Quit it, will ya!

VETERAN: Oh, this one, he's a real prince... kicks you when you're down and out.

COLONEL JACOB "HAWK" MANLEY: Why don't you shut your mouth!

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: Hawk, stop it! It's not helping.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Come on, pal. You wanna tell us what you know?

VETERAN: Sure. It's bigger than a breadbox and it doesn't have wheels. It moves around, so you'll never find it. That's all you're gonna get out of me. I'm sure you have ways of getting more information, I hear you're a nasty lot. But I fought the Kilrathi all my life, and I'm a tough bird.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Take him to the brig.

COLONEL JACOB "HAWK" MANLEY: Come on, come on!

Shooting Script

A Wing Commander IV shooting script has been digitized from the collection of the University of Texas at Austin. A digital version (extracted below) was posted to Origin's Wing Commander IV website in 1996.

hangar bay - panther, hawk, vet -j2ÿÿ CONDITION: IF Blair stiffed the panhandling Vet back in the Nephele star port canteen (Scene 13-A1).

the captured pilot sits between panther and hawk; we recognize him as the vet from the nephele star port canteen, washed up and hair cut, but still the same guy.

clearly, he's already undergone some interrogation from Hawk. he appears tired and confused. now he looks up at blair's approach.

vet You're with them now, huh? (to Panther & Hawk) This one's a real prince. Kicks you when you're down and out.

Hawk pulls the vet up by his collar and looks like he's about to punch him.

hawk You watch your mouth.

panther steps in.

panther This isn't helping.

blair You wanna tell us what you know?

the vet grins. a little spookily.

vet Well, it's bigger than a breadbox. And it ain't got wheels, but it moves around, so as you'll never find it. (beat) That's all you're gonna get out of me. I'm sure you got ways of gettin' more -- they say you're a nasty lot. But I fought the Kilrathi for 20 years, and I'm a tough old bird.

blair looks at panther and hawk, exhales in disgust.
